His father (Peter Rodger, a small time director) was a white British national and his mother (Ong Li Chin) was a Malaysian national of Chinese descent. He lived with his father and his Moroccan step-mother after his parent's divorce. In the time leading up to his rampage, he wrote the lengthy manifesto/autobiography ''[[My Twisted World]]'' and distributed it prior to the incident. Elliot's lack of female attention (partially ascribed to his [[shyness]]), sexual frustration, and fury at perceived mistreatment he claims to have suffered and what he saw as the injustices of society drove him to do the tragic 2014 Isla Vista massacre. | His father (Peter Rodger, a small time director) was a white British national and his mother (Ong Li Chin) was a Malaysian national of Chinese descent.

Elliot was a member of [[PSL|PUAhate]] which was not an incel forum (although Rodger may have mistakenly perceived it as one, he described as “a forum full of men who are starved of sex, just like me”<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/30/elliot-rodger-puahate-forever-alone-reddit-forumsM/</ref>) and his shooting thus resulted in [[PSL|PUAhate's]] closing soon afterwards, after the heated media coverage regarding the forum that ensued subsequent to the massacre. Rodger's manifesto never mentioned the word "incel" and out of thousands of posts across many websites he only used the word, "incel", once or twice, including only once to self-identify. He seemed to have spent most of his forum time in the anti-pick-up artist culture | Elliot was a member of [[PSL|PUAhate]] which was not an incel forum (although Rodger may have mistakenly perceived it as one, he described as “a forum full of men who are starved of sex, just like me”<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/30/elliot-rodger-puahate-forever-alone-reddit-forumsM/</ref>) and his shooting thus resulted in [[PSL|PUAhate's]] closing soon afterwards, after the heated media coverage regarding the forum that ensued subsequent to the massacre.

There is no proof of him spending any time at all in the actual incel forums around at the time (such as [[incelsupport]] or [[Love-shy dot com|love-shy.com]]). There are rumors he used the [[ForeverAlone]] subreddit, but these claims are unsubstantiated and likely false. | |||
